Heard from a few different people this was one of the best biographies they'd ever written. Thought I'd see for myself...

Amazing portrayal of this complicated woman

Really enjoying this book!

Reading during the commercials. Fascinating woman! Book is very hard to put down.

Should be working but I'm not feeling great. Laying in bed reading instead.

ė como ler um livro de fofoca da realeza... realmente bom!!!

This looks fascinating :)

Just started listening to this book. For a second, I thought Jon Hamm was narrating.

Being of Menno heritage, I owe this woman a lot; my ancestors were able 2 come to Russia because of her #reading #nowreading

Getting better. Poor girl w a shadow of a husband.

This book is amazing. While Catherine ruled so long ago, the story is so relevant today!! This is a book I highly recommend everyone read!!

So, so, so good. Only on page 13 and already immersed.

Only 74 pages to go; fantastic biography of a strong and powerful woman!

Never underestimate the power of a cold, calculating and unaffectionate mother to inspire ambition in her child.

Robert K. Massie has a true gift with historical figures. He is truly able to humanize history's greatest figures.

Staying up late to read. Catherine's story is so sweeping and cinematic #beggingforabiopic

Robert Massie is one my favorite non-fiction authors!!!

Decided to bake brownies and do some laundry before bed. Reading this while waiting.

Just getting started. I love the fact that I can check out ebooks from my library online. I've read so many more books this year than ever before.

Perfect Winter reading!!! Robert Massie is my favorite non-fiction author!!! He knows Russia!!!

New great book to read,,, start
